The Islamic State (Isis) terrorists in Syria have released a new photo report that shows its fighters destroying dozens of tombs and headstones in the historical city of Palmyra.

On Monday, Twitter accounts affiliated to Isis released some 10 pictures, which they claimed were from the city of Palmyra. Monitoring agency SITE confirmed that the images were
published by Isis affiliates from Syria’s Homs province.

The Isis took over the ancient oasis city of Palmyra, also referred to as Tadmur in Syria, on 14 May and since then it was feared that the militant group might destroy the 2,000-year-old UNESCO world heritage site.

A CNN report had noted there were concerns that the group would bulldoze and tear down Palmyra in the same manner as they destroyed ancient ruins in the Assyrian city of Nimrud.
